Relationships (165)

Introduction

Every relationship has a beginning and an end. Every relationship is temporary. Even they can last a long time, there will come the time that it will end or be modified or start a new phase. This is a truth.


The Tricky Part

What is dangerous in us is that we try very hard to keep it going as if it were never to change. That I’m afraid is our illusion that we very costly try to keep alive.


Relationships are Dependent Arising

No relationship exists even by itself, all relationships are dependent arising’s. They depend on certain factors. To surrender to the fact that it may change, to surrender to this truth is at first scary and there is much resistance.

Why do we get scared? It can’t be impermanent, it can’t finish, it has to keep on going that is what the mind says and this produces a lot of angst and desperation. Why are we so adamant that the relationship should not change or end? Because we see that it is us that it is everything in my life.


Conclusion

Is that true that it (a relationship) is a big part of my life? Yes relatively, is it everything? No I still breathe, life still enters me, I was born independently not sown together to another person, born by myself.

When I was born and had life I didn’t even have this relationship so how can it be me or be all there is to me? It is part of my life but it is not everything or all of me or my life. Understanding this puts each relationship into perspective.


End (165).

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this.  In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
